laptop so we can have a closer look at what the American Express Platinum Card
has to offer. So give me one second and I'll see you over on the laptop. Okay so
when you click on the referral link below this video you'll be brought to
this page where it says right here you've been referred. Your friend has
referred you to the Platinum card from American Express so on and so forth and
then of course you click continue. Real quickly if you're interested in getting

like personal cards, travel card, reward points, no foreign transaction fee,

like I said it helps to channel quite a bit. So the first thing that you can see
right here in regards to the American Express Platinum Card is that you can
earn 60,000 points once you get started after you spend
$5,000 within the first three months. Now regarding this sign up bonus or the sign
of offer you're actually able to get between 60,000 points all the way up to
125,000 points if you just continue to check from time to time using a private
browser or using this link and just continue to come back and you know maybe
you'll get lucky and you'll see the $100,000 offer or the 100,000 points
offer in regards to the American Express Platinum Card. So if you're interested in
the card you know take your time be patient because it's really cool if you
can get that 100,000 points offer when you're getting the American Express
Platinum Card. So as you can see here it says annual fee five hundred and fifty
dollars of course there's no interest charges because you're supposed to pay
your balance in full. So right here the first thing that I kind of want to talk
about here is some of the key features that you have in regards to the American
Express Platinum Card. So as you can see here there's different tabs that you can
navigate through here at the top of the page so you have key features, you have
travel benefits, you have reward benefits, you have shopping and entertainment
benefits and additional services. So of course you can take the time to go
through every single one of those if you'd like. Like I said there's a lot of
information here on the website in regards to the American Express Platinum
Card. So here we go we'll just kind of talk about some of the key features that
you can expect to get with the American Express Platinum Card. So you have Uber
rides with platinum. Okay so it talks about enjoying $15 in uber credits for
US rides each month plus a bonus $20 in December, simply because you're a
Platinum Card member that can be used up to two hundred dollars in annual uber
savings. So basically you're gonna get $200 that you could use towards uber or
uber rides but you're gonna get it basically $15 a month for every single
month except for December you get $20 so that's pretty straightforward. Another
thing that the American Express Platinum Card is known for is the fact that
you're gonna get five times membership points when you book your airline
tickets directly with the airline or if you use American Express Travel. Also you
get five times membership reward points when you do hotels when you book hotels
on Amex travel.com. It's very important to make sure that
you have all the information that you need don't go and book your hotel with
hotels.com or some other site be sure to use Amextravel.com otherwise you're
not gonna get your five times the membership reward points for booking the
hotel. So that's very important if you're going out of town or if you're staying
in town you definitely want to make sure you're booking your hotel with Amex
travel.com. The next thing here talks about a $200 airline fee credit. So it
says enjoy perks while you fly. Feel free to check your bags or enjoy an in-flight
meal on us. Select one qualifying airline and then receive up to $200 in statement
credits per calendar year when incidental fees are charged by the
airline to your platinum card account. So that's pretty cool what they're talking
about here is a bunch of stuff which includes your like your bags if you're
checking an extra bag you can go ahead and pay for that. If you're getting food
or beverage on the plane this is a part of your $200
airline fee credit so you can spend up to $200 in American Express we'll
reimburse you for using your American Express Platinum Card, so that is pretty
sweet. I had a good experience in regards to American Express crediting back your
account whenever you you know use your money for anything that they say that
there's a credit for so you can expect to get those credit back pretty quickly.
The next thing I want to talk about here it says the credit for Global Entry or
TSA PreCheck. So of course it says when you apply for and receive your Global
Entry or TSA PreCheck not only can you get expedited screening at selected
airports but you'll receive a credit for the application fees on your statement.
Once again like I said American Express is really good about crediting your
account or your credit card as soon as you know you use it sometimes I've seen
the credit on my account like you know basically the next day or like two or
three days later which is really really cool. So the next thing I want to talk
about here it says find hotels and resorts program it says receive
complement benefits with an average total value of $550 with fine hotels and
resorts. So with American Express with your
American Express Platinum Card you have the ability to reserve hotels
at different hotels that American Express has to offer through their fine
hotel packages. As a matter of fact you're able to actually get upgraded for
certain things in regards to your hotel and I'll talk a little bit more about
that in just one second. The next thing I want to talk about real quickly here is
the global lounge collection. It says when travel calls we answer the
American Express global lounge collection unlocks access to more than
1200 airport lounges across 130 countries and Counting are unmatched
worldwide coverage is made possible through our networks. The Centurion
lounge and the international American Express lounges as well as our partner
networks Delta Sky Club and priority pass select lounges. So this is really
cool this is another really awesome perk that you get with your American Express
Platinum Card is the fact that you have access to a lot of lounges. But a lot of
people really want access to the Centurion lounges and I'm gonna touch on
that in just one second. As a matter of fact I'm gonna jump on over to the other
site real quick two other tab and kind of show you guys what I'm talking about.
So here on this other tab here as you can see it talks about the same thing
that I've already addressed but one of the things that I think is really cool
is it kind of lists it lists the amount of Centurion lounges that they currently
have right now and of course I think they're still trying to make more as we
speak. So as you can see here it says Centurion Lounge. There's a Centurion
lounge in Miami, Philadelphia, New York Fort Worth, which is interesting
Dallas, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle Hong Kong. There's actually a lounge in
Houston as well I'm in Houston so I'm excited about that I'm definitely gonna
check that out and make videos showing you guys what you can expect when you
get access to a Centurion lounge. So the lounges is a huge part of the American
Express Platinum Card experience. I mean it's just one of the other perks that
you get and once you have the American Express Platinum Card. So real quickly
I'm going to touch on the Hotel Collection here as you can see. So I
talked a little bit about this earlier. So it says the Hotel Collection it says
get a $75 hotel credit on qualified charges plus get five times membership
points per eligible dollar spent when you make a prepaid booking with
the hotel collection at AmericanExpress.com/hc of course there's terms that
apply. So of course you want to do your research or just contact American
Express and ask any questions that you may have to ask them directly. And so of
course it talks about platinum travel services enjoy extraordinary travel
experiences with platinum travel services our dedicated travel counselors
are there to help dream up ways to make your trip more memorable. Another thing
that you get with the American Express Platinum Card is that you actually get
upgraded benefits when you get like let's say you reserve a room at a Hilton
Hotel so it says Hilton honors gold status enrollment with Hilton honors
those that actually can enjoy benefits at hotels and resorts within the Hilton
portfolio and earn Awards faster with Hilton honors bonus points or I'm sorry
with honors bonus points. So there's actually a lot of things like I said
that you get when you get the American Express Platinum cards there are
countless benefits I mean right here on the left as you can see there's travel
benefits, there's hotel benefits, there are foreign..foreign travel
benefits, there's shopping benefits, there's automobile benefits. Now just a
click to kind of click on and kind of show you guys what you can expect ok so
this is what I talked about a little bit up top let's click on foreign travel
benefits just so you can kind of see. It talks about the Global Entry and the fee
credit in regards to your global entry or pre TSA check. There's no foreign
transaction fees for the American Express Platinum Card so you can use
this card abroad if it's accepted and I say if it's accepted because American
Express is not accepted every single where in other countries but if it is
you can expect to not pay any foreign transaction fees. So you can just use
your card and not have to worry about dealing with that. There's a premium
global assist hotline that you can contact them 24/7 so that's cool if you
need help with something regarding that... Let's click on shopping benefits real
quickly just so you can kind of get an idea so it talks about purchase
protection. Purchase protection can help protect eligible purchases made with the
American Express Platinum Card against accidental damage, theft and sometimes
provide loss coverage for certain card products up to 120 days from the date of
purchase. So that's really cool of course then there's return protection.
So the return protection it talks about if you try to return an eligible item
within 90 days from the date of purchase and the merchant won't take it back
American Express may refund the full purchase price excluding shipping and
handling up to $300 per item up to a maximum of $1,000 per calendar year per
card account if you purchased it entirely with your eligible American
Express card. Purchases must be made within US or its territories. So of
course that's kind of common sense let me click on automobile benefits because
I'm curious right what that's about. Okay so it talks about uber rides with
platinum and of course your uber credit it talks about Car Rental loss and
damage insurance, also premium roadside assistance. So once again guys I just
wanted to make a quick video this video is not quick actually but I just want to
make a video to kind of show you a lot of what you can expect to get with your
American Express Platinum Card. Like I said if you're interested be sure to use
the link below this video and go to the website and like I said it'll help our
channel quite a bit. So just real quickly here I want to recap quickly what you
can expect some of the perks and benefits you can expect to get with the
American Express Platinum Card. Okay so some of the key features that you can
expect to get with your American Express Platinum Card is $200 uber credit and
$200 airline credit. Five times on airfare and five times membership reward
points on hotels booked through Amex travel.com
Of course there's Priority Pass access you and two guests that you get to
include if you have the American Express Platinum Card. You also get access to
Centurion lounges for you and two guests, as well you get access to Delta Sky Club
when flying with Delta of course. You get access to Hilton Honors goal elite
status, you get access to SPG Gulf preferred elite status and therefore you
